Alpha dial?

Before I flash I have a quick question. I had CM7 on my EVO, and the only complaint I had was that you couldn't alpha-dial contacts. The TouchWiz dialer is great...has CM improved its phone dialer?

Love how this runs on our S2! One complaint though, the camera app is horrific when taking pics. Do you guys have a miui camera apk thats compatible or recommendations on an alternative camera app from the market. I want the 8mp in wide format. I use the camera alot with my 3 year old and want to see what other members are using.

Thank you!

I'm having issues with the gallery not rotating and when I enable it force closes, is there a way to keep the default android orientation? I think the problem might be that we have to many orientation settings, cyanogen, android sys and AWD. I just want to keep the default settings that come with android is there a possible way to do that? please advise, thank you again!

Zinx and Kmobs specifically advise against using task killers. If the rom runs laggy, do a wipe data/factory reset, and on first boot let it sit there on the welcome screen for a full 5-10 minutes before you do the first set up. Trust me, it makes a huge difference in rom stability.

You can turn on your GPS, then reboot your phone and your phone audio problem should be gone. Just try to keep your GPS turned on the whole time and will be no problems with your calls. I'm running this ROM since the first day this came available and no problems at all with the calls with my GPS on the entire time, my battery is good 24 hours with medium to heavy use. I hope this can help you.

GPS locked in very quickly for me.

I wished NFC worked; Wallet installs and starts perfectly, whereas it completely fails on the stock ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mrcrassic:
This ROM is a sigh of relief. The stock ROM, even when reduced to barebones, is

way

too attached to carrier. (Uses weird boot animation files and tethering won't work unless added to your plan, for example.)

I had problems downloading from the Market at first but they went away after I force closed it. I also sideloaded GMail, which may have forced something in the backend.

It's very fast, though I can't comment on battery life yet. (Seemed fine for today.) sdcard mount is mounted to the external sd by default, which might be a problem for people who want to use the faster eMMC more often. To change this, go into Terminal and enter the following:

su
mount -t vfat /dev/block/vold/179:33 /mnt/sdcard

There is already a symlink to the "real" sd card inside of that folder and it will automount when connected to computer. To apply these settings permanently, edit /etc/vold.fstab.

Do not apply the 1.73 GHz kernel or the wifi calling patch from stock ROM!

I couldn't boot my phone after applying either of these.

OP: Is your code on github? I am very keen to look into the NFC issue, especially since Google Wallet launches perfectly on this ROM.

Great ROM. Many thanks! Fast boot and very responsive. The only thing I miss are some intuitive features from the Samsung ROM (i.e., swipe to call in messaging, and some other UI elements).

Currently running Launcher Pro with ICS themes and icons. Looks great and runs great. It definitely impresses new GSII owners who are still running the stock ROM.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Hey.... I'm getting a t-mobile s2 in a few days and was just wondering if this rom works good (used to cm7 on slide). Is it very similair to the official builds of cm7?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
Yes technically. No one is working on it though because ICS has taken priority. Why would a Dev continue working on cm7 as cm9 will introduce better hardware optimization? It would be like putting windows 95 on your octa-core desktop ;-)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Royalknight6190:
I did build one its called DARKSIDE-CM7-Hybrid you can find it in the forum. Its like an updated version of this rom.

i would say this rom works good for what its worth.

I disagree just like all ne Android OS's its going to take it rime to settle in and be fully stable and functional. Some people don't like messing with newly released Roms because of rhw bugs. Cm7 has been out for a while and is solid and stable. Once CM9 gets released we will finally have the full access to the device, which cyanogen is the only people will it, this will give us all the files we need to build a complete and fully working cm7 rom. Don't get me wrong I am excited for ICS also, I have it running on my MyTouch4g and its nice. But is it fully stable no, camera doesn't work along with other issues. Now will this device have those issues probably not because team cyanogen is building it and they will take there time and make it dang near perfect.

Lol I know you are working on one bro ;-) I was referring to the other devs :-D Once ICS is bug free on the gs2, it will be much like froyo on our devices. It simply wont be developed for anymore.

Like I said in above post, we dont have the full source code for Hercules so some things we just cant fix until we get that. Slayher is now working on CM9 instead of updating this, which is fine. I am trying my best to bring a somewhat stable CM7 rom to the community.

I can't deal with the lack of a microSD card on the GN. Also the phone kinda looks ugly and feels weird in the hand compared to the T989. I really like the chrome sides on the T989, and besides the 720p screen it's the ideal hardware in a phone for me, and I'm willing to wait for the software.

To each their own I guess but t989 is a great device dev support or not. Much better than a mytouch 4g lol! New ROMs every week don't mean sh1t if the phone is garbage. My suggestion? If you can't be patient, learn to dev n make your own ROM. :)

No offense but zip aligning isn't really updating if the ROM has the same issues. Mad respect for trying and I know it's not your fault that the cm boys won't release code but it is what it is bro...cm is dead for t989 atm and I'ts not lookin too hopeful with all the real coders leaving for gnexus.

They're not being dicks and permanently holding back the code they're waiting until the nightlies start before releasing it. Just be patient. I've been running it on my hd2 and believe me it's worth the wait. Its not like our phone sucks so much with stock or has any blaring bugs. (As is the case with many other phones.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Devilman539:
Because they are working on cm 9 and cm 7 was never finished. Shortly after this was released for t989 cm boys shifted focus on cm 9 so once they finish that we'll hopefully see something for this. But to be honest at the rate that carriers are releasing new handsets I can totally see the t989 becoming irrelevant before we ever see anything.

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------

I think kids on these threads are lazy, impatient and ungrateful. t989 is solid and has atleast 2-3 solid roms out at the moment that are super stable and fast. You guys dont realize that ICS is going to be bugg as sh1t when it drops for us and by time it gets smoothed out youll be drooling over some new handset to waste money on. Appreciate that you have a slick phone as it is and actually use ur phone for somthing other than flashing a different rom every day of the week. There are far cooler things to our phones that what new roms ur running. I dont know bout you but Im gonna go play some MC3 on mine. :)

The real coders are not leaving for the nexus. Working on the Nexus isnt what real coders would do because all the work is already done for you since Google does all the support coding and all these real developers have to do is zipalign/tweak and theme.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] billobob:
the thing with this is sometimes you are just never going to get the level of software support you want. even CM9 may very well not have a camera that works as well as the stock touchwiz camera, or take absolutely forever to come out. it's a pretty big question mark

of course, if you're fine with the hardware and the software is good enough (even though it's not perfect, where ideal is a nexus level of aosp support), then this can trump hardware you don't quit like as much with perfect support. it's a matter of preference

and to the person who complained about the S II's pictures in the dark... are you serious? I don't know what kind of iphone you used but virtually every cameraphone, even the 4S, is extremely crappy in the total dark. they just can't (currently) jam in a sensor big enough for it to work well. even regular point and shoots produce crappy pictures under this scenario, albeit not to the extent cameraphones do
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Royalknight6190:
Not excatly just like all new releases it will take CM9 a while to get up to par with where CM7 is at. Also if you haven't ran a ICS rom yet then you should. I am running an AOSP ics rom on my Mytouch4g and I am still on the fence if I like it or not. Yes it has a new UI and its blue.....I can get all those features on Gingerbread with a good rom and a good theme. How they set up the menus is a little different and I don't think it is very user friendly. Who knows it might grow on me. I am just giving my initial thoughts of ics.
